As the cooler weather settles in across Southland, May becomes the month our pets start seeking extra warmth, deeper sleep, and a few comforting treats along the way. At The Proud Pet Store, we’re leaning right into the season with snuggly jackets, a brand‑new orthopedic bed range, and an exciting lineup of new treats your fur babes will absolutely adore.

Whether you’re prepping for winter walks, upgrading your pet’s sleep space, or spoiling them with something delicious, May is full of cosy goodness.

Snuggly Jackets for Chilly Days

The temperature has officially dropped, and our snuggly jackets are already becoming a customer favourite. Designed for warmth, comfort, and everyday wear, these jackets help keep your pet cosy on frosty mornings and crisp evening walks.

Why pet parents love them:

• Soft, warm inner lining

• Easy‑fit designs for wriggly pups

• Stylish colours and patterns

  • Perfect for small breeds, seniors, and short‑haired dogs

  If your pet shivers, curls up tighter than usual, or hesitates to go outside, a jacket can make a world of difference. Pop in and try one on — we’re always happy to help with sizing.

  Introducing Our New Orthopedic Bed Range

  This month we’re thrilled to launch our new orthopedic bed collection, designed to give pets the deep, restorative sleep they deserve. These beds are crafted to support joints, ease pressure points, and keep your pet comfortable all night long — especially important as winter approaches.

  What makes them special:

  • High‑density orthopedic foam

  • Plush, cosy fabrics

  • Supportive for seniors, large breeds, and pets with mobility needs

  • Stylish designs that look great in any home

  If your pet is slowing down, stretching more, or seeking softer spots to rest, an orthopedic upgrade might be exactly what they need.

  New Treats to Keep Tails Wagging

  May also brings a delicious new range of treats to our shelves — including our latest protein‑packed possum treats for both dogs and cats. These are quickly becoming a hit with pets who love something flavourful, natural, and a little bit different.

  Why pets (and owners) love them:

  • High in protein

  • Naturally rich in collagen

  • Great for skin, coat, and joint health

  • NZ‑made and pet‑approved

  Perfect for training, rewarding, or simply adding a little joy to your pet’s day.

  A Month for Warmth, Comfort & Care

  May is all about helping our pets stay warm, supported, and happy as the colder months roll in. Whether you’re layering up for winter walks, refreshing their sleep setup, or treating them to something tasty, The Proud Pet Store has everything you need to make the season cosy and fun.

  Come see us in store — we love helping you find the perfect things for the pets you adore.
